Does The Daily Evergreen Cover Community News Beyond WSU Campus?

Updated

Yes. The Daily Evergreen is the student-run news outlet of Washington State University, but its coverage is not limited to campus. Its front page mixes WSU stories with Pullman community news and items from nearby Moscow, Idaho, and it staffs a dedicated community editor for that coverage.

What community coverage looks like

The paper's own homepage shows community stories running alongside campus and sports reporting. Examples visible in its current lineup include:

  • Local events: a roundup of Neill Public Library October events, credited to the Community Editor.
  • Local business and city finances: a story on an 8% sales tax revenue drop in Pullman following the end of construction.
  • Weather: a Pullman forecast item.
  • Regional coverage: a WSU Vet Med sheep festival held in Moscow, Idaho, published in the Evergreen Gallery.
  • Community life: a feature on tailgating "through generations."

How the coverage is organized

The site groups stories under labels such as Campus, Community, Sports, and Evergreen Gallery, with community items carrying their own editor byline. That structure is the clearest signal that off-campus Pullman news is a standing beat rather than an occasional overflow from campus reporting.

What this means if you're using the site

  • If you want WSU-specific news — athletics, enrollment, campus administration — that is the core of the paper and dominates the top stories.
  • If you want Pullman city news, local events, weather, or nearby Moscow items, those appear too, but they are a smaller share of the front page and rotate as new stories publish.
  • Because it is a student newsroom, the mix shifts with each semester's staff and story cycle, so the balance between campus and community coverage is not fixed.

For the most current community reporting, check the Community section and the Community Editor's byline directly on the site rather than relying on the homepage mix at any single moment.
